Marcus Braybrooke, Consultant ages: 9-12/adult reference Multicultural - world religions Of the many books that explain the world religions I have found this to be the most comprehensive and comprehensible. There are lots of color graphics, symbols and several pages dedicated to each of the major world religions and brief explanations of the less widely known religions, such as Sikhism, Jainism, the spirit religions of South and North America, Africa, and Australasia, and "new" religions such as Rastafarianism and Bahaism and the Hare Krishna and New Age movements. Overviews explain the basic beliefs, scriptures, methods of worship, and festivals of each religion without comparison. A glossary helps give even more understanding to frequently used terms and symbols.
	Navigators: African American Musicians, Dancers, and Visual Artists in Academe (Suny Series, the Social Context of Education) Theresa Jenoure age: adult reference (teachers) Navigators vividly brings to life the stories of twelve African-American artists who teach music, dance, and visual arts at colleges and universities that have traditionally been viewed as White institutions. In this captivating and moving book, Theresa Jenoure shows that there's a great deal to be learned from the experience of these teachers. She explores their visions and callings as creative artists and how they function in higher education. In so doing, she presents relevant ideas about the development and sustenance of creativity. About the Author Theresa Jenoure is the Director of Augusta Savage Gallery and the Coordinating Director of Multicultural Programs at the Fine Arts Center at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. She also teaches at the university and at the Graduate School of Arts and Science, Creative Arts in Learning Program at Lesley College.
